The Conquest of the Mountains
State Violence, Technology, and Authoritarianism in the Ottoman East
This study examines the massacres in the Sasun region in 1893–1894, analyzing how the Ottoman State colonized its eastern mountainous peripheries. Owen Robert Miller considers how three nascent technologies (modern firearms, steamboats, and telegraphs) centralized Ottoman authority and entrenched rule in hitherto autonomous regions.
